The Maine Fire Marshall’s Office is investigating what they’re calling a suspicious fire in Cornish this past Monday.

According to a statement, the Cornish Fire Department responded to a two-story home on Old Pine Road at around 10:47 PM.

The one person inside the home at the time managed to safely escape without injuries.

After determining the cause of the fire to be suspicious, investigations into the fire led to officials finding a surveillance video of three unidentified male suspects near the building when the fire started.

Investigators are asking for information about the men in the video (picture above).

If you do have info regarding their identities, you’re encouraged to contact the Office of State Fire Marshal by one of the following methods:

  • Arson Tipline at 1-888-870-6162
  • arsontips.fmo@maine.gov
  • Augusta Communications Center at 207-624-7076 (ask for an FMO investigator).

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

No arrests have been made at this time.
